Summary

Ki Charter Academy Liberty Hill is a small, alternative-style charter school in Liberty Hill, TX, serving 125 students in grades 5 through 12, and operates under the Ki Charter district, which ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas school districts. This micro-school offers a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.7:1 and spends a high $23,591 per student, nearly three times the spending of nearby high-performing schools like Liberty Hill High School ($8,310) and Rouse High School ($9,198). However, this intensive investment has not translated into strong academic outcomes, as the school's overall state ranking has declined from the 55th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 15th percentile for 2025-2026, placing it far below the high-performing public high schools in the Leander Independent School District (Isd), Liberty Hill Independent School District (Isd), and Georgetown Independent School District (Isd).

Academically, Ki Charter Academy struggles significantly compared to its neighbors. For example, in Algebra I, only 11.5% of students were proficient, versus 63% at Liberty Hill High and 74% at Florence High School. In English I Reading, Ki Charter's 24.1% proficiency rate was less than half the state average (55.4%) and a fraction of Rouse High's 82.8%. The school also faces a volatile dropout rate, which spiked to 11.1% in 2023-2024—dramatically higher than nearby alternative schools like Chip Richarte High School and New Hope High School, and far above the sub-1% rates at traditional high schools like Vista Ridge High School and Leander High School.

Despite these challenges, there are a few bright spots. Ki Charter Academy has shown relative strength in U.S. History, with 75% of students proficient in 2025-2026, beating the state average of 70.2%. It also performed well in English II Reading (50% proficiency) and has shown improvement in Biology (39.3% proficiency). The school's Special Education program was an exceptional outlier in 2022-2023, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide, though this performance has not been sustained. For parents considering this school, it offers a small, individualized setting for students who may not thrive in larger traditional schools, but the data indicates significant academic and retention challenges compared to the high-performing options in the surrounding area.
